Info: |
OMEGA produced the reference 145.012 from circa 1967 to 1969. This reference became a part of NASAs inventory of Speedmasters as basic equipment for the Astronauts. It comes with the legendary calibre 321 movement and it was actually worn in space for several NASA missions. This watch has "SP" engraved inside the case back indicating it has "Special Pushers." OMEGAS made these special pushers more robust to give the case greater water resistance. This particular watch features the rare "Dot over 90" or "DON" bezel which is in fantastic condition and matches the wonderful overall condition of the watch It also has the rare flat-link bracelet with original ‘16' links – today it is an extremely difficult bracelet to source. The OMEGA Speedmaster remains one of the most iconic and legendary watches produced and models with the calibre 321 and "Dot over 90" bezel are highly sought after. |
